Episode Description from the Publisher

Jeff Dudan's free digital copy of his book   What separates leaders from managers? What does a car dealership turnaround have in common with raising your kids? And why is 'love yourself' some of the worst advice ever given? In this episode of the Unemployable Podcast, Jeff Dudan sits down with Chris Collins - child of missionaries, former broke drummer in the Seattle grunge era, record-setting automotive GM, and now one of the most respected turnaround experts and leadership educators in the country. Chris is the author of the groundbreaking two-volume book set I AM LEADER, a rawly honest and visually stunning work four years in the making. Chris and Jeff go deep on the psychology of high performance - unpacking locus of control (why 90% of people externalize responsibility and how it keeps them stuck), the difference between real leadership and glorified management, why self-esteem is the immune system of consciousness, and the counterintuitive playbook Chris uses to turn failing businesses profitable in 90 days. They also get honest about parenting as the hardest leadership role, why you should never cut a business into profitability, what culture actually means (hint: it's law and order, not vibe), and the one-sentence philosophy that reframes how you see every single day. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a parent, a manager trying to level up, or someone who feels like they're mowing a lawn someone else designed - this conversation will challenge, sharpen, and inspire you. Key Topics Covered: • Locus of control - the hidden key to success and fulfillment • Self-esteem as the foundation of leadership • How to turn around a failing business in 90 days • Why leadership books are mostly management training in disguise • The difference between builders and landscapers • Culture as law and order - not perks and feelings • Parenting as the ultimate leadership challenge • The I AM LEADER book - design, philosophy, and how to use it • Why creativity is the defining trait of great leaders • The magic trick framework for business transformation  Guest: Chris Collins Guest YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtK5rssLQRzkf-NLL0eosNw  Guest Website: https://chriscollinsinc.com/  Guest Socials: https://www.instagram.com/chrisbulldogcollins/  I AM LEADER Book: https://iamleaderbook.com  #Leadership #BusinessTurnaround #IAmLeader #ChrisCollins #Entrepreneurship #Mindset #LocusOfControl #SelfEsteem #CarDealership #UnemployablePodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
